Displaytimed 15 "Power Chords is a chord based music tool. It uses an
on-screen stringed instrument for its input metaphor."
Displaytimed 15 "You can use it to write entire songs, create
arrangements, and to help you learn about chords and music. Or you can use
it to help you learn to play a real stringed instrument."
Displaytimed 15 "This is the instrument window. It has frets and strings,
just like a real instrument. You can play the strings all at once or strum
them by dragging the mouse through the pale yellow rectangles."
Displaytimed 15 "However, unlike a real instrument, you can change the
number of frets, strings, and the tuning of the strings at will. Power
Chords is great for experimentation!"
Displaytimed 15 "You can create chords on the instrument by placing finger
markers on the fretboard with the mouse."

Displaytimed 15 "This is the Rhythm Editor. It is used to create the
rhythms that 'play' the chords."
Displaytimed 15 "The grid is where notes are entered. You can enter
any length of note from whole notes down to notes as small as 1/96th
of a quarter note."
DisplayTimed 15 "Notes can be quiet, loud, or in between. Rhythms can be
one or more bars long."
Displaytimed 15 "Rhythms can be as simple or as complex as you like. When
a rhythm is complete, it is stored in the Chord Rhythm Palette."

rhythms, bass parts, and a melody line to complete the song."

they have their own palettes as well."

Displaytimed 15 "You've seen how easy it is to create music with Power
Chords. But there's lots of things that haven't been covered in this
quick demo... features like Chord Request that automatically gives you

chord naming and custom drum kits."
